England and Spain had been at each other's neck from 1585 to 1603. It all started during the era of exploration of the New World. Both couhtries were vying for the wealth and power brought upon the expeditions. Another issue that both had been very tense about is religion. England was a Protestant country under the rule of Elizabeth I. Spain considered it as a religous crusade and lastly, English Seamen were attacking Spanish vessels. Because of these issues both countries were at war. Many Protestants were persecuted during the reign of Mary Tudor. Elizabeth I excommunicated the Pope,just to name a few. Spanish vessels were attacked by Drake. The war ended when Elizabeth I died and King James i issued a decree on piracy
Eugene V. Debs discusses how socialists in the US strive for financial and social equality among all US citizens. Debs describes how American society can be extremely unfair, as some individuals are born into wealthy families and never have to work a day in their life while other individuals work extremely hard their entire lives just to survive.
This is why Debs, and socialists in the US in general, strive for a system in which the government has more control of the means of production and the economy in general. Debs argues that all things in the US are jointly used and that it only makes sense for the government to be involved in making sure these resources are spread out equally to citizens.
